Emmitsburg, MD. – As our nation moves back to Standard Time beginning this weekend, the U.S. Fire Administration (USFA) encourages you to mark the occasion as a time to test your home smoke alarms and replace the batteries if more than one year old.
 

Every day in the United States, needless home fire deaths occur. Working smoke alarms significantly increase your chance of surviving a deadly home fire. A properly installed and maintained smoke alarm is the only thing in your home that can alert you and your family to a fire 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Whether you're awake or asleep, a working smoke alarm is constantly on alert scanning the air for fire and smoke.
 

In addition to changing your smoke alarm batteries this weekend, the USFA recommends following these simple steps to protect your life, your loved ones, and your home:
 

Dust or vacuum smoke alarms when you change the batteries.
 

Test alarms once a month using the test button.
 

Replace the entire alarm if it's more than 10 years old or doesn't work properly when tested.
 

Install smoke alarms on every level of your home, including the basement, and both inside and outside of sleeping areas.
 

For the best protection, equip your home with a combination of ionization and photoelectric smoke alarms or dual sensor alarms.
 

Interconnect all smoke alarms throughout your home so that when one sounds, they all sound. Interconnected alarms are available at most stores that sell smoke alarms.
 

Make sure everyone in your home understands the warning of the smoke alarm and knows how to respond.
 

Finally, prepare and practice an escape plan so that you and your loved ones can get out of your home safely should there be a fire. Plan to meet in a place a safe distance from the fire and where first responders can easily see you.
 

For more information on smoke alarms, fire escape planning, and fire prevention, visit the USFA website at www.usfa.fema.gov/smokealarms.

If you or someone you know are in need of a smoke alarm, please contact us at info@nvfc10.org or click on the smoke alarm in the menu on the left side of the home page.

Norrisville Volunteer Fire Company will host it's first annual Halloween Costume Contest on the evening of Friday, October 28th, beginning at 7:00pm. This event is for all kids 12 years of age and under. There will be snacks, candy and prizes.

In an effort to make sure we NEVER FORGET, the Norrisville Volunteer Fire Company has had the opportunity to obtain a piece of steel from the WTC. Talking back and forth with the Port Authority of New York New Jersey, it took over 500 days, almost 2 years to obtain our artifact.
 
 The 33 inch long artifact serves as a constant reminder of our 343 brothers, nearly 3000 civilians, and the thousands of lives affected by that September day. The memorial features a Flag of Honor, listing everyone’s name murdered on September 11th, 2001. As well as several photographs and small stones symbolizing the million tons of debris removed from the site. The artifact will be displayed at all company functions and we welcome all to experience the memorial.

Thank you Lt. Corey Watkins for all the time and effort you put into this memorial. 

On October 13th at 20:11 hours, Company 10 was alerted for a Building Fire. Engine 1011 and Rescue 1051 were clearing a motor vehicle accident and responded while Engine/Tanker 1025 responded immediately from the station. Upon Engine/Tanker 1025's arrival, the crew found a large barn fully involved in fire. 1025’s crew pulled a 1 3/4" handline and proceeded to protect a large open building full of hay and farm equipment while crews assessed two other exposures. Crews remained on scene for three hours until the fire was under control and BGE secured the downed power lines.
